Buyouts Idea for Teachers Is Stalled

A proposal to give buyouts to New York City public schoolteachers who don't have permanent jobs at schools is "dead in the water," teachers union President Michael Mulgrew said Thursday.

Chancellor Dennis Walcott proposed the buyouts in May as a way to get rid of teachers who remain on the payroll but have struggled to find a new job after being let go, often because of budget cuts or school closures.
